Wow, where did the time go?


I am such a bad teacher! I can't believe 2 weeks has gone by since my last post! Sorry about that!

Last week we finished our weather unit in science with some great air pressure activities. For explanations on those activities, visit Mrs. Putnam's blog at http://mrsputnam.blogspot.com/
She always has great math games on there, too. This week, we have been working on a mini unit on Ohio inventors. We have asked ourselves these questions:
Who was the inventor and what did he/she invent?
How did the invention(s) change the lives of people?
How did the invention(s) contribute to the growth of the nation?

We will be spending LOTS of time preparing (not cramming) for the OAT tests happening at the end of this month. We will be working on how to get the most points by answering questions correctly and completely.

When we return from spring break, we will spend some time on erosion and weathering of rocks in science. Watch the Friday Folder for possible items we might need for labs.

I hope everyone has a great, safe spring break next week!!
